Acquisitions have short shelf life.<\/p>\n<p><i>The strugglers often have big egos.<\/i> Because they<br>\n  talk themselves into greater opinions of themselves so they can sustain. Has to<br>\n  be exaggerated because they don\u2019t see worth in what they are. Ego personality<br>\n  goes in the same direction as the higher self, things flow. Ego personality<br>\n  lives the variation of the truth, which is its opinion.<\/p>\n<p><i>Struggles feel that the struggle is noble. <\/i>To<br>\n  justify the fact that their life is out of control.<\/p>\n<p><i>Strugglers set unrealistic goals. <\/i>See only the<br>\n  goals, not the path. He is trapped by his opinions of how to reach the goal. No<br>\n  other possibilities exist. He often misses shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p><i>Struggles lack understanding: <\/i>physical plane and<br>\n  how the marketplace works. Strugglers can\u2019t be bothered. The world owes him a<br>\n  living. <i>He also lacks metaphysical knowledge. <\/i>He goes after life and<br>\n  pushes it away.<\/p>\n<p><i>He worries what others think of them. <\/i>They are<br>\n  very social animals. They are not sure about themselves so they worry about<br>\n  what others think of them. Only you have the answers. Others do not have all<br>\n  the facts. People will always manipulate you into their way of thinking.<\/p>\n<p><i>Strugglers lack stability.<\/i> Stability is the key to<br>\n  a worry-free existence. To have balance and stability, you have to exercise<br>\n  control over every area of life. Develop the power to say no to the situations<br>\n  that are not a part of your overall intention for yourself. You have to be<br>\n  happy about your life right now so your energy moves forward: Don\u2019t have to<br>\n  settle with what you have now. There must be lessons for here and now.<\/p>\n<p><i>Strugglers often lack concentration.<\/i> Concentration<br>\n  is a key discipline in personal growth and development. Concentrate on a goal<br>\n  until it\u2019s completed. Cf. \u201cThanks for calling, but I can\u2019t talk to you right<br>\n  now. Call back in Christmas.\u201d Through concentration, you become powerful.<\/p>\n<p><i>Strugglers have poorly-designed life styles.<\/i> How<br>\n  you get them with minimum effort. Cut out things that are superfluous. Hold on<br>\n  to a life of simplicity.<\/p>\n<p><i>Struggler lack order.<\/i> Otherwise, you\u2019ll dissipate<br>\n  energy, wasting time in confusion.<\/p>\n<p><i>Strugglers lack concerted action in the market place. <\/i>Strugglers<br>\n  don\u2019t like concerted action.<\/p>\n<p>4)<span style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\">&nbsp; <\/span>Dumping<br>\n  Struggle<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'serif';\">1.<span style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/b><b>Opinion: <\/b>Struggle is always how you feel about<br>\n  something, your opinions, laced.

Have the courage to identify the causes of struggle.<br>\n  All struggles can be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>Further, it may take time to reprogram your attitudes for<br>\n  more carefree existence because struggle is a programmed response.<\/p>\n<p>Place yourself in a non-confrontive mode. First, with<br>\n  yourself and then, with the world around you. The freshness that new energy<br>\n  bring to your life allows your emotions to take on resonating in a calm. In a<br>\n  calm, it allows pull more opportunities to yourself because energy seeks its<br>\n  own kind.
